I think they will bite the bullet and come out at $399.99. I don't believe that they could sit $200 higher than the series s.
It isn't bullet biting if it was the planned price to begin with.I think they will bite the bullet and come out at $399.99. I don't believe that they could sit $200 higher than the series s.

I agree but don't bring that junk here. Its hard to concentrate and I have a long history with mens underwear.I think they will bite the bullet and come out at $399.99. I don't believe that they could sit $200 higher than the series s.
I strongly feel like Sony needs to do something similar to this, regardless of what the price is: (note that it comes with a year of game pass)
It comes out to a 19 dollar deal, so all PS5 needs to do is bundle a game with it.
it’s not so much about the deal but the lack of an upfront cost. 2 years at 0%apr is insane. Very few families won’t be able to pay that off in 2 years; it’s extremely enticing.
Next-Gen is shaping up very nicely so far, but I'm a bit irritated how people can still possibly believe that the PS5 will launch with a price of 499 or even 399.
Sony is not just using top of the line components, with a SSD that seems do not even be available for the desktop market, but they are also building more expensive technology in their controller (upping manufacturing costs).
Most importantly the PS4/Pro is still selling well and costs around 449 USD/Euro even today! There is simply no reason for Sony to abandon the PS4 considering it's installation base and they will continue to sell a lots of them well into the future.
The PS5 is build around delivering a really next gen experience with not just visuals, but sound and haptics and they can't possibly meet demand anyway considering that the PS4 will most likely still move more units in the holiday season.
PS5 will be great, no doubt about it, but don't kid youself, there really is now way they are going to launch this at anything but a very premium price.
It might be frustrating if you don't have the necessary funds, but I wouldn't be suprised if they launched at 599 or even more, considering people are flocking to buy new iphones for over 1000 usd/euros.
This seems the most likely to me. Anything higher than $500 would be suicide.why the hell not.
PS5 - $499
PS5 DV - $449
You should get that checked out.But personally, 399$ -449$ is a sweat spot for me.
They did before... And that was 14 years ago.So weird that so many people think the PS5 will be more than $499.
At the rumoured BOM 499 even looks a little high. Even if the BOM is significantly higher than that, there's still slack for it to be 499.
There's just no way Sony would design a console with a target price of $599. It would be incredibly risky. There's just no way they can have a $200 gap between the Series S and the cheaper PS5.
What is it that makes people think the PS5 will be expensive? The SSD?
Don't you people know that companies make deals with manufacturers (we don't know who makes the SSD for the PS5, I think), and the cost for Sony would be a fourth (or even less) of the retail price? Do people really think that Sony buys at the same price as consumers at retail?
Also, there's a lot of costs that can be subsidized by Sony depending on what deals they make. Then, there's the fact that Sony might choose to sell the console as a loss.
It's just about using logic and common sense to know that the PS5 will NOT be more than $499.
In fact, depending on what the BOM really is, and what their target price point, plus target sales are, they could even sell it lower. The thing might look expensive, but you don't know how expensive it is. Like I said, not because you see an expensive price for consumers, means that it's that expensive for Sony.
If the rumored BOM is real at $450. They can perfectly sell the PS5 at $499/$399. In fact, they could even sell at $450/$399.
It's definitely a good idea in a world where many people live paycheck to paycheck, what happens when they miss payments, though?
You think so? 4K players aren't cheap.People are really thinking Sony is going to charge $100 extra for the disc drive? They're out of their minds if it's more than $50 more, and it probably shouldn't even be that much.

Maybe not at retail. But I got a Magnavox one for $65 refurbished 2 years ago. There's no way the cost to Sony of including a 4k drive in the PS5 is greater than $50. No chance If they charge $100 extra, they're looking for profit, just like Apple would do upcharging $100 for an iPhone with 16GB storage rather than 8, etc. They probably still do that; haven' been paying attention.You think so? 4K players aren't cheap.

There are going to be so many comments coming in the next hours and days "this and that didn't age well" XDTitle of this thread didn't age well.
But how many people will buy the discless version who would not have already been going mostly digital anyway? I think you (and apparently Sony) may be overestimating the amount of sales this will convert from physical to digital.Sony gods have spoken. Helps to differentiate the models and incentivize going disc'less as well, so it makes sense.
